So close and yet so far! It was after dark when we arrived in Hood River. As soon as we entered the Gorge, we ran into strong winds. Mark was exhausted by the time we got here. Continue reading

From Missoula, MT
We woke up this morning to a bright, blue sky. What a beautiful way to start the day! Mark checked the weather report online and discovered that even if we had taken the southern route, we would have run into snow storms. What’s more, we got out of Wisconsin before this storm was expected to drop three inches of snow there! Continue reading
From Billings, MT
It was 15° F when we got up this morning, but there was some sunshine, so we were encouraged. We had hoped to make it to at least Missoula, MT by tonight. Continue reading

There were two very good reasons why Mark chose to go the northern route across the country this time: 1) We were leaving Wisconsin five days later than we had hoped and this is the shorter, more direct route, and 2) in looking ahead at the weather report across the country for this week, it showed rain but no snow.

We’re in the RV! It’s still parked in our driveway, but we hope to leave as early as possible in the morning. Continue reading
Bad dog!

I have been driving around with my camera for the last week or so in case there’s something I want to shoot, and I’ve been glad to have my camera along many times. Continue reading
Things you seldom see
I have been thinking this week about life in the country. I was behind a huge tractor on the back roads I often take home, and he took nearly the whole road. At some point along the road, another large tractor approached us in the opposite direction. You should have seen the two of them trying to pass each other! Continue reading
A few new pics
I was talking with my mother on the phone this morning and told her I had gotten some pictures of a storm we had here last week. She said she would like me to post them on my blog so she could see them. I also took a few pictures last night when Mark and I had a bonfire in our back yard with some more of the tree limbs and things we’ve been trying to get rid of this summer. Continue reading
